Why will the guppys be a quick snack?? The angelfish are little babys. So when the angelfish will be full grown there fins will be 7 inches top to bottom?

Although I'm sure angelfish can and sometimes do eat ghost shrimp, I had ghost shrimp with adult angelfish in both a 20g and a 38g and they never bothered the shrimp at all. Anyway, the shrimp are so cheap its worth trying.. and if it doesn't work, then you just gave your fish a big meal. Win either way.
Is it true that my 2 baby angelfish can eat my grown up guppys? I have my guppys and my angelfish together and they don't even bother each other at all. What are my angelfish called and say the FULL name plz. Ill try like 2-4 ghost shrimp and see what happens. Or should i try one? Since my parents like both of the angel fish SO much that they might let me set up the 30 gallon tank when the angelfish get too big for the 10 gallon tank. Is there any way to find out if its a male or female my the color or the fins or any thing els like that?:headbang2: How big is too big of the angelfish that i have to get a bigger tank for them?
I'm sure your guppies will be fine...at least until your angels get bigger, and if they start disappearing, you'll know to take them out.
However, you really need a bigger tank right now. I had one angelfish, 2 tetras and some shrimp in a 20g and it was a tight squeeze...I ended up with a 38g and only added some cories and a clown pleco and it was about right. So you should get that 30 g set up as soon as possible and depending on how many guppies you have...don't add anymore fish. that said you could get quite a few shrimp, I had about 10. Hope it all goes well.

I only got 5 fish in the 10 gallon tank right now, 1 zebra danio (1 inch long), 2 guppys (1 male and 1 female), 2 baby angelfish. My guppys had babys a while back about a month ago or so. 20-25 babys!
The fish ate about 5+ of them and 1 died a few days ago.
